DIY Framed Chalkboards
To make the chalkboards, I painted the wooden picture frames I found in our storage room white. Next, I cut a piece of thin wood to fit each opening, then painted them out in chalkboard paint.
Before you use your newly created chalkboard, prime the surface by rubbing with a piece of chalk on its side and then wiping with a dry rag. It prevents the first drawing from being permanently etched on the surface.
Hot Chocolate Party Favour
For the to-go pouches, I simply filled a cellophane bag with hot chocolate mix, white and dark chocolate chips and a large marshmallow. Then I tied it up with ribbon.
Next, I glued ribbon around the cup, leaving enough room to stick the straw through.

You should do one for sure. Your kids would love it! I decided last year I wanted to do one for this season, so write it down and make sure you follow through with it- you won’t be disappointed!
